i mounted a viper body by cutting an aluminum sheet, folding one end to form a clip, and it is liquid nailed from the middle of the roof (underneath the car for looks) and bends over to the clip area... for the front, since Mini-z front thing where you place the nose of the car on the xmod, is slightly larger than that of the xmods, i put 2 plastic pieces in the left and right sides to fit to size, and center. the length of the rear aluminum clip determines the height of the body.
so far, the audi tt, viper, s2000, 360spider, and z8 bodies fit, as i personally fitted all of them.
the only two i ran into a problem with are the enzo and the rx7 (this one fits, but without battery clips)

they all fit well, with the exception of the enzo and rx7
i think mini-z are 1/28 just like xmods, so they fit accordingly

The Enzo Mini-Z body will never fit properly on an XMod without creating a longer chassis. The mid-engine 2nd generation Mini-Z has a longer wheelbase than the XMods and first generation Mini-Z.
